VLAN's in Network with both 2950 and 1900 Switches

Given that Catalyst 2950 switches support only 802.1q VLAN trunking, and Catalyst 1900 switches support only ISL VLAN trunking, can VLAN's be successfully used on a LAN which contains both of these switch types ?

Hi Friend,

There is a problem here, you can configure vlans on both the switches but because both support different encapsulation type , trunk will not come up and traffic for those vlans will not pass other switch.
